Freiburg

Back tracking a bit…I didn’t blog about Freiburg or what else we did in Lucerne because I felt the engagement was a bit more pressing/exciting. On Friday, June 24th, Keith and I took the train from Berlin to Freiburg to visit our friend Steffi.

Steffi studied at Central Connecticut State University during the 2009-2010 academic year. We met in the Modern Language Office whist tutoring language students. She’s loads of fun, loves the Cheesecake Factory, and squirrels.

Freiburg is beautiful…super cute university city with about 200,000 people. There are little waterways everywhere and EVERYONE seems to ride bicycles. I never really had much interest in going to Germany, but I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly people were and how beautiful it was in both Berlin and Freiburg.

Friday night Keith stayed in and Steffi and I went out for drinks. It was great to catch up…also, she is a FABULOUS hostess (eh, hem…Nicole, this entire post is to get you to visit hehe).

On Saturday, Steffi took us to a small town further into the Black Forest called, Titisee. We bought a bottle of wine, rented a rowboat and Keith paddled us around the lake.
